Whichever team has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner.

Examples: Let's say a tie-breaker has been played, leaving the score at 3-2. The team who won 2 games would receive 2 points. The team who won 3 games would receive 6 points, 3 for winning 3 games and 3 for winning the match up.

Now let's say that a tie-breaker was not needed, with a score of 3-1. Again, the team who won 3 games get's 6 points. The team with 1 win only gets 1 point.

Now take the above example, but instead of 3-1, one team dominated and the final score is 4-0. In this case, the team with no wins gets no points for the match up, but the team that dominated ends up with 7 points. 4 for winning 4 games and 3 for winning the match up. This is the only situation where 7 points can be gained in a round. Every other situation will result in a max of 6 points available to one team per round.

In the event that there is a tie at the end of the tournament, it will be handled as such:

The teams will play a best of 7 match up to determine the winner. 3 games on each team's home games, plus 1 Random escalating, chained, foggy game, all simultaneously. The winner of the match up will be the winner of the tournament.

If more than two teams should tie, then the same will be done. All 3 teams will play one another, Round Robin style, in 7 game match ups, simultaneously.

So, be sure that you are willing to do that many games before signing up. However, keep in mind, it's unlikely that even 2 teams will tie due to the scoring system, which means that it is extremely unlikely that more than 2 teams will tie.

Maps may only be chosen once. Each team must have a different home map. It will be treated as "first come, first served." So sign up quickly to get the map that you want.

Each team will have a max of two 24-hour periods to join games. I will send invites, if somebody doesn't accept, I will send one more invite.

In the event that a team (or one member of the team) doesn't accept either of the 2 invites, then an automatic win will be granted to the other team, with a score of 4-0.

If this should happen twice in the tournament, then the offending team will be dropped and a replacement team will be found.

Should the need arise to replace a player during the tournament, this will be allowed once. Please keep in mind that the replacement player will need to keep the team at or above the minimum average team score of 1600.

When signing up, please include the 2 players names, a team name, a home map, and settings. Remember, the only settings you may choose are spoils, reinforcements, and fog/sun.

I'm not sure how many teams I will be taking right now. It depends on interest. But I would like to keep it at a multiple of 8. So, 8, 16, 24, etc.

I reserve the right to make changes to the tournament if needed. I will do my best to run these by the current signups/participants to ensure they are ok with the changes, but ultimately, the decision rests with me.

I also reserve the right to refuse entry to any person/team that has acted poorly in any past tournaments of mine, or who are on my foe list.

Also, after thinking about it more, I think I'm going to cap this tournament at 10, unless I get a whole bunch of sign ups around the same time. So, with that in mind, 2 more teams needed (most likely).

Also, I have decided to cap the tournament at 10 teams. This is in order to keep the tournament from running on for months and months. With 10 teams, each team should play anywhere between 36-45 games, assuming no end of tournament tie-breakers are needed. I feel like that's a good amount of games, enough to have fun, but not so much that people get tired of playing the games over and over again.
